Presentations will be given by FPUD and Rainbow general managers Brian Brady and Dave Seymour, respectively, and Michael Ott, CEO of the Local Agency Formation Commission. There will be an opportunity for the public to give opinions and ask questions.

For about a year, the two districts have been investigating the merits of either combining operations through a joint powers authority, or completely merging the two districts.

The districts say a merger or consolidation could save $675,000 in the first year, $668,000 in the second year, and $2,535,000 in the third year and every year afterward. The majority of those savings would be a result of staff reductions, the districts say, but savings would also be achieved by combining equipment and facilities.
